Sugar from SOrghum..-A Success at
Last.

ltSts
After failure of many experiments,
complete success has at last been at
tanned in the manufacture of sugar
from sorghum; and this oft disap-
pointing and much derided plant is
to become one of the leading and
most valuable agricultural products
of the Uniten States. At Fort Scott,
Kansas, a mill is now in successful
operation making sugar from sor-
ghum at a good profit after paying
the farmers $2 per ton for the cane.
The assured success of this indus
try is the outcome of government aid
to private individuals, the State of
Kansas having offered bonus of two
cents per pound on sorghum sugar,
and the United States government
having furnished means to defray the
cost of experiments, at the Parkinson
mill, which have resulted so fortu-
nately.
The inventions and improvements
made during the past year at Fort
Scott will stimulate the manufacture
of sugar as the invention of the spin
ming jenny did that Of cotton.
The cane is handled with machine
ry invented and improved by Judge
Parkinson, one of the owners of the
mill, and the sugar Is made by i'm
proved diffusion processes introduced
by government chemists.
The sorghum crop in the vicinity
of Fort Scott averaged thirteen tons
per acre, and was taken by the mill
at so per ton. The corn crop aver
aged forty bushels, and was sold at
25 cents, making difference in fav-
or of sorghum of $16 per acre. The
cane is delivered to the mill unstrip-
ped of leaves and seed.
The latter ore sold by the mill at
81 per bushel. The cane is cut and
cleaned by machinery, going finally
through q machine that tears it into
shreds, and passes it to the batteries
or juice extracters.
The yield is from 100 to 113
pounds of sugar and fifteen gallons
of molasses per ton Of cleaned cane.
With sugar at 6 cents per pound, and
molasses at 20 cents per gallon, the
mill realizes from 8 to 10 cents per
pound gross, not including the State
bonus of 2 cents.
With coal at 80 cents per ton, the
working cost is less than 8 cents per
pound, and Prof. Swenson thinks it
can be reduced to less than 81, while
be hopes to increase the yield of su-
gar by decreasing that Of molasses.
He has already succeeded in getting
Ill the Juice from the cane.
A special correspondent of the New
Orleans Times Democrat, after close
Investigation, declares that the Fort
Scott Mill is getting more money out
,f ton Of sorghum than the Louis
ana mills realize from q ton Of tropi-
al cane.
Col Cunningham, q well known
sugar planter Of this state, recently
visited Fort Scott with his manager,
Mr.. Wilkinson. Both are sugar
growers and makers Of the greatest
practical intelligence, and after q crit
cal inspection Of the mill, both affirm
hat sugar is being made there from
sorghum cheaper than il can possibly
De made in Louisiana or Texas from
ropicAl cane by present methods
they state that the entire process Of
is simple. cheap and
,erfAin, and that the sorghum sugar
ndnstry is established beyond ques-
ion.

TEXAS RAILWAY FINANCES.

A glance at the figures will show that
the railway system of Texas is not only
great in extent, but vast in the capital
invested, gigantic in its Indebtedness as
we'll as in the beneficence of its effects on
the prosperity and development of our
state.
Thirty railroads in Texas, great and
small, have an aggregate paid up stock
of $15O,OO0,oOO, equal to one quarter of
the entire taxable wealth of the state.
This includes the great Trunk lines of the
Houston g. Texas Central, the Missouri
Pacific and the "Santa Fe,' the Texas d.
Pacific and the International & Great
Northern. OF these latter the paid up cap
ital stock of the Central is $7,700,000 in
round numbers; Texas il Pacific,
1872 100000; Missouri Pacific, $46,000,000;
International Great Northern, $780,
600.
The debt, bonded and otherwise, of
bhCNO DlR wi pOlupiOho 10 oOLhS'hihS ooiAi
more immense. That of the Texas g. Pa
cifc mounts up to SCI, 900, 600; the budget
of the Missouri Pacific (the old Missouri,
Kansas g. Texas) weights down Jay Gould
to the nice little sum of $42000,000; In
ternational g. Great Northern, $15,OO0,OOo;
while the Houston Texas Central stag.
gers under a load of 21,000,000. The
debt of these thirty roads aggregates over
$780, 100000, or some $5OOOO,OOO more
than their paid in stock.
Against this vast pile of debt the aggre
gate gross receipts of these roads for the
year ending September 80, last, was only
$25,000,000 in round numbers. These
figures are given for the consideration Of
those who wish to look at the railroad
question dispassionately, and who car
take in both sides. The magnitude of rail
road interests in Texas can be appre
ciated when it is shown from the figure
above that the roads owe an aggregate
debt equal to one third the entire taxabl
wealth of the state of Texas.

MISTAKES ABOUT TEXAS.

New Hampshire paper, having stated
the term, ATTENDING school," in Texas,
meant going few days in year, the
New York Evening Post corrects it by
saying that while the school year in New
Hampshire is 1O1 days, in Texas it is ITO
days.
The New Englanders have misunder-
stood Texas in education as in everything
else, the real truth is that we are forging
ahead of our New England friends silent
ly but surely. In few years Texans will
be better educated class than the
Yankees themselves. While we are ad
vancing in that direction, figures show
that poor old Massachusetts of
isms-is actually retrograding g, her CEN
sus of 1885, showing 10000 persons in
that state ten years of age and over
who cannot read or write-an increase
of 30 per cent. since 1880. The only
danger is Texas may overdo the thing,
and out-Herod, Herod. An Egyptian
knight of ignorance may yet shadow
the poverty stricken hills of New Eng
land, to be illumined by rays from Texas
and her splendid University.

PEACE ASSURED.

Schnaebels has been released by order
of Emperor William. Thus ends an af-
fair that threatened dire complications be-
tween two old enemies, but has re-
suited in cementing of the friendship
broken on the field Of Sedan. The rela-
tions of Germany and France, instead of
being still further embittered by the
"Schnaebel incident have been greatly
improved; and, unless something else
comes up, peace between them may be
considered assured, at least for this gem
Grafton.
Notwithstanding the mercurial excitable
nature of the average Frenchman, there is
nobody in the world quicker to accept
and appreciate an "entente cordiale." Ac-
cording to NJ. Herbette, this has been ten
dered by Bismarck in the Schnaebels re.
lease.
Calls we'll that ends we'll" The curtain
can now be rung down on comedy with
a pleasant ending, instead of a great and
bloody tragedy threatened few days ago,
when the two principal actors in the play,
in the guise of nations, stalked forth on
the stage.

Coop! 1t is announced that Master Work
man Powderly is to go to Chicago to
cleanse the ord of the knights of Labor
of the damning contact with the anarch
lists. In this direction lay one of the
greatest dangers to the order. Once, for
Just reason, confound the Knights of La
Dor with the anarchists, and the greatest
blow possible has been struck the cause of
the laboring man. Seeing this, Powderly,
the wisest and most conservative leader
of the order, hastens to Chicago, that hot
bed of nihilism and anarchy, to warn his
brethren and free them from the danger.
Let the Knights of Labor stand alone
upon the platform of the dignity of labor
and the right, peacefully and through or
ganization to obtain justice as a class and
as men, and they will be respected as an
organization and hearkened to as an order.
No other course is open to them, and they
should shun anarchism as they would flee
a pest.

PROHIBITION JOURNALISM.

The Austin Prohibitionist, weekly pa
per published under the management OF
the Travis County Prohibition alliance,
yesterday made its first appearance. It's
four PACED paper, very neat in Its typo
graphical makeup and in its printing. III
is full of prohibition and is naturally very
severe on Barney Gibbs and other anti
prohibitionists. It's corps of editors have
done good work in this first edition, with
one marked exception: in referring to the
time when Noah once got drunk. 1t says:
We notice, too, that Noah's spree was IN
one point very much like the common
drunk of to-day, for, when he awoke from
his stupor. he cursed one of his children.
Drunken fathers have continued the prac-
/ ce of cursing their children to this day.
But we find that the old patriarch's curse,
differing from the slobbered oaths and
curses of modern drunkards,w fearful in
its effects. Ham, his youngest son, the
son from whom the colored race descended,
was the child that incurred his fathers
wrath, and upon him and his children fell
the curse of servitude and slavery. The
colored people will remember this fact at
the ballot box, and by their votes will help
to free Texas from the bondage of King
Alcohol.
This language is blasphemous and
sacrilegious and should be discounte-
nanced 1t is virtually an impeachment
of God, in that it makes him party to the
ratings of drunken man, for that Noah's
drunk was the cause of the present ne
groes' condition can never be admit
ted. And the end to which the re-
ference is put, to curry favor with the ne
gro voters, is a double reflection upon the
purity of the motive of the paper sug-
costing such an idea and pleading such
an excuse for vote. THE STATESMAN, in
the prohibition campaign, wishes to see
the fullest and freest discussion of this
whole question in its remotest bearings:
and while it thinks enough papers are al
ready established in Texas to give the
greatest currency to the views of both
sides of this question, yet if the prohibi-
tionists wish to a greater extent to work
through organs of their own establish
ment, we can have not the slightest objec-
ton in the world. But it is submitted,
that these organs should be truthful just
and cleansed of such blasphemous SEN
fences as those we quote above.

Missouri Republican.

MISSOURI Republican.
The whole kernel of the railroad view of
the short and long haul matter is found
In this statement by Senator Stanford, of
California, who, in addition to being a
United States senator, is one of the own
ers of the Southern Pacific railroad: "We
carry ton of wheat from San Francisco
to the Gulf of Mexico-3,OOO miles-for
$40. For carrying the same amount to a
point half way-1,500 mies-we charge
$50; and yet the people at that point are
not overcharged.'
The excuse for the discrimination in
favor of the longer haul is that if a
very light charge were not made the
road would not get the business at
all. The road cannot afford to carry
freight in general way at a
$40 per ton rate; it would be.
come bankrupt at the business. But the
road is already built, it has an outfit of
